STUDENTS WILL VISIT GREAT INTERNATIONAL

County Agent Barrett Working Up Plan to Take Teachers and Scholars to Stock Show. County Agent Barrett, assisted by Prof. Ira Coe, ©f the Rensselaer high school, is working up a plan to take a large number of teachers and pupils to Chicago on Priday, Dec. sth, to attend the International Live Stock Exposition at the union stock yards. Mr. Barrett has received a concession never before granted to students from country schools and that is free admission to the show, while he has a still greater treat in store for all who attend, as J. J. Lawler, the well knock stockman, has promised to give a dinner to all who attend * the show under Mr. Coe’s cliaperonage that day. It is expected that about forty will compose "the crowd and that Mr. Lawler will fall for feeding that many hungry Jasperites in Chicago. The great stock show opens on Nov. 29th and lasts until Dec. 6th, and the visit as planned is for the next to the last day of the show. It is expected to go to Chicago on the early morning train, although this may possibly be changed to tlie milk train of that day. Probably some pupils from the rural schools will be picked up at Plarr and Fair Oaks. Every taecher is urging that pupils attend this show, as it will prove a benefit in educating them about stock. The entire day will be spent at the stoclk yards and the benefit that can bp derived will well justify the cost to each scholar.
